ArchivesRe: use Noel
in reply to a message by Aria
Hi Aria and Kate, thanks for your thoughts!
It looks like there are definitely varying opinions on this issue! While I prefer Noel with the spelling of the first name and last name for reasons of symmetry, I don't want to totally ditch "naming" rules...after all, I chose to use the proper spelling of Saoirse rather than some weird phonetic one.
If she ever wants to use the mn as her first-it's making me think I should use the "lle" ending (which I prefer on a first name) also-When reading her name-people will probably have trouble knowing what gender she is just by looking at her first name, that the second name will give them a hint. But are those reasons enough-or should I just go with what looks "more balanced to me?
I'm going nuts, but need to decide soon so as to get her SSN and send out the birth announcement, lol!
